#13 - Savor the finer things
Chapter 13: Tasting "Beautiful Things"
It's not certain there will be any gains, and whether Samui will give it is also a question.
This is to… create an opening.
That's right, just create an opening.
Seiji is very clear that his current status and strength are not enough to directly obtain higher value things from Kumogakure.
Rather than that, it's better to lower his stance and ask for a trivial benefit.
Using a D-rank ninjutsu as a bargaining chip will not make Samui feel any threat, nor will it arouse her suspicion.
This is to test Samui's bottom line.
Seiji stood there, with dim light behind him, stretching his shadow long.
"See you next time, Miss Samui."
Seiji put the entire scroll in his ninja pouch to avoid being discovered, and then left.
Things are not over yet.
This time it's D-rank, so next time the sincerity must be higher.
Let his Sharingan get emotional… fluctuations.
……
Before leaving, Seiji also packed a box of sushi to take back.
Halfway back, someone suddenly bumped into Seiji.
The sushi he was carrying fell to the ground with a thud.
"Sorry, sorry."
A girl with curly hair and a slightly chubby face quickly apologized.
"I… I'll pay you for the sushi."
Kurenai Yuhi looked at the rice balls and side dishes scattered on the ground and apologized to the person she bumped into.
When she looked up and saw who she had bumped into, she found that it was a classmate from her class.
"You… you're Seiji-kun? I'm really sorry."
"It's okay, Yuhi Kurenai-san."
Seiji shook his head.
This sushi was just a cover for him.
Going to the sushi restaurant must have a legitimate reason, to go and leave without doing anything?
He stayed inside for quite a long time last time, but only a few minutes this time.
Buying a box of sushi can avoid attracting attention.
"No, I must pay you for the same sushi."
Kurenai said, insisting on taking Seiji over to pay him for a box.
"It's getting late, they're closed."
"Did you buy it from the sushi restaurant on the street to the left rear?"
"Yes."
"No wonder, they close at night."
Kurenai lowered her head, not knowing what to do.
Before, at the ninja school, she was thinking that Seiji had Sharingan, and she vaguely wanted to discuss genjutsu with Seiji.
As a result, she broke the sushi that Seiji bought today, didn't that offend Seiji?
"You can compensate me with something else."
Seiji said.
Kurenai's eyes lit up and she immediately agreed to Seiji's proposal.
Ten minutes later.
The two arrived at a shop.
She skillfully ordered a bunch of dishes, and then handed the menu to Seiji.
Seiji opened it and saw that it was full of various fish.
Among them, the most were how to prepare octopus.
Seiji casually ordered a portion and put the menu on the table.
Before long, the dishes they ordered filled the table.
The largest portion was wasabi octopus.
The official book recorded Kurenai's preferences, her favorite foods are shochu, vodka, and wasabi octopus.
The food she hates is cake.
"Seiji-kun, after the Uchiha awaken their Sharingan, will their genjutsu ability be enhanced?"
Kurenai, who tasted a mouthful of wasabi octopus, asked.
"There will be some bonus, but the specifics depend on personal skill."
Seiji looked at Kurenai in front of him and said.
Sharingan does have a bonus, but there is a limited range.
If the person who awakened the Sharingan is a ninja who is good at genjutsu, then his Sharingan genjutsu will be stronger.
For example, Kakashi and Kurenai during the "Book of Confrontation" period.
Kurenai's "Illusion" value is 10, while Kakashi's "Illusion" value with three-tomoe Sharingan is 8.
Kakashi's ability to copy using Sharingan is far stronger than his ability to use genjutsu.
"Then… Seiji-kun, are you free to communicate with me about genjutsu?"
Kurenai's red eyes looked at Seiji.
According to what Seiji said, her theory is completely correct.
As long as she works hard enough, she can catch up with the Uchiha who have Sharingan, and justify her father's genjutsu strength!
"Yes, but it will have to be later, I have to have a sparring match with Obito tomorrow, and after school I have to go to learn ninjutsu control to control chakra."
Seiji glanced at Kurenai's appearance.
Very cute.
This is Seiji's evaluation.
But he prefers the future Kurenai, who has the charm of an older sister.
Tasting such "beautiful things" also has a unique charm.
Seiji could feel a heat swirling in his left eye.
Of course, it's too early now.
It's also good to communicate genjutsu abilities with the current Kurenai like this.
Most of the Uchiha clan's genjutsu revolves around the Sharingan, and they rarely use other methods to perform genjutsu.
The Yuhi clan can still become ninjas specializing in genjutsu under the reputation of Uchiha genjutsu.
There must be something special about it.
"That's great!"
Kurenai closed her eyes tightly, curving into a crescent shape.
Sighing that Seiji is an approachable good person.
She also thought that maybe people from the Land of Lightning are so easy to talk to.
She never realized why Seiji would agree to her request.
…………
Deep in the secret room of the sushi restaurant.
"Lord Samoto."
Samui said respectfully.
"Yatsuki Seiji came?"
Samoto asked.
"…He wanted a D-rank scroll."
Samui hesitated and briefly recounted to Samoto how Seiji obtained "Lightning Release: Iron Block".
But instead of saying it as it was, she downplayed it and said that Yatsuki Seiji was not satisfied with the scroll she gave.
She omitted that Yatsuki Seiji said it was because of what she said.
Her calm nature made her face not change at all, as if she was saying a very ordinary thing.
"Very good, next you are responsible for continuing to communicate with Yatsuki Seiji, and be sure to win him over to Kumogakure."
Samoto nodded with satisfaction, and focused his attention on Seiji's request for the scroll.
It's best if Yatsuki Seiji has something to ask for.
Moreover, ninjas usually confirm their fighting style when they first embark on the ninja path.
When Seiji gets used to using lightning release ninjutsu, he will have to continue to ask them for it.
The Uchiha's lightning release ninjutsu is good, but it is not as good as Kumogakure Village, which is famous for its lightning release ninjutsu.
The Uchiha are best at fire release, and their clan emblem is a flame fan.
Its meaning is the person who controls the flame.
"The Uchiha's bloodline limit will definitely enhance the village's heritage."
Samoto took a piece of sushi from the table in the secret room and swallowed it.
When he has this achievement, does he still need to be a spy everywhere? Do these hard jobs?
If it wasn't for going further in the village and planning to get a good qualification here to go back, otherwise ghosts would be willing to risk their lives to lurk in Konoha, and if they are not careful, they will be abandoned.
"Yes, and Lord Samoto… I…"
After a while, Samui bit her lip, feeling that it would be better to make things clear.
